Just got done w my annual doctor visit. 45, blood work looked great according to Dr. But I told him the last several weeks I've had this flushed feeling in my face and kinda "medicine" headed foggy feeling. His only suggestion was to cut back on coffee and alcohol and see if it makes a difference...

yeah I've cycled through a couple of cheap TV's for mine. Its under the roof and stays uncovered. Get a cheap SMART TV and you'll be fine. Buy a new one every 5 years or so. My neighbor bought the $5k expensive "outdoor tv" and bought the black plastic enclosure for it. I have seen alot of ...

[quote]If you had just swept the two weakest teams like you had the opportunity to do so the past two weeks you wouldn’t need 7 wins out of 9 games…[/quote] You’re right. You would only need 5 out of 9. But this season is already too far gone and w remaining schedule that won’t happen. ...

Posted by TopWaterTiger on 4/22/24 at 9:19 am
[quote]It's an instant class indicator. It won't be going away. Almost none of my friends have a tattoo and the very few that do have them hidden. I have three kids either at LSU or recent grads. They, along with none of their friends, have tattoos (unless they are well hidden). I have been ...

[quote]nyone who says Johnson should be fired is silly. That said, the crappiness of this year’s team is his fault and he deserves the associated criticism. BK wasted a national best offense last year with a generationally poor defense. He deserves shite for wasting a top 3 QB season[/quote...
